@Cyrax
I am. Already posted it early. I'm on a degenerate bender playing 5 bets a game. Went 6-4 yesterday but hit both of my key plays (Shrimp + Packer 1H). I'm still thinking what to fill out the late game with but the Over 45 will be the top bet. Good Luck Cy and let's hope for 2 great games.

Bill Parcells was my favorite coach. I'm not saying he was the best. Just my favorite, for several reasons. When players, coaches or owners would whine and say they were unlucky, cheated or the victims of bad breaks, he would tell them "you are what your record says you are." He had his own coaching beliefs and he didn't want to hear excuses. One of his core beliefs : Kickers are not football players. Do NOT EVER put a football game in their hands unless forced to. He would go for it on 4th down long before these analytic boneheads, but he would do it because he wasn't going to lose because a kicker missed. Parcells related to football players. And they believed in him. Fake field goal---TOUCHDOWN !!! Was his approach. And if one were to look at his record, you'd see a guy who brought teams back from disaster to contention. "We should have won the game" was not part of his thinking. I think GB lost because they had a rookie quarterback and a rookie kicker. They both made critical mistakes when it mattered most. Take nothing away from the quarterback. They're not even in the game without his guts and talent. I think the Jets wish they had him for next year, when they expect an old man to win the Super Bowl for them.

This was awesome. Thanks for the story Ken.

Reminds me of a story that Georgia Tech/Patriots FG kicker Scott Sisson told a long time ago. Apparently he was kicking field goals from 60 yards out in practice one day when Parcells came by to watch. Rather than complementing him on his range he told him "That's fine and well but you'll be judged on a 35 yarder with the game on the line when it's 20 degrees and the wind is blowing sideways."

I don't know about that. It's been a sloppy game so far. Both sides playing conservative and being "rewarded" appropriately. I can see TB opening things up in the 2H, hitting some big plays and winning this thing. Detroit's secondary is horrible but you have to challenge them. Big game jitters from both coaches so far. We shall see.

Right. And the 49ers sleep walk into the SB, after miraculously beating the Packers yesterday.
This 2H is going to be interesting. Let's see which coaching adjustments work out.

I have one black friend where I stood up at his wedding, thus, automatically making me non racist. Thank you.

Vintage Parcells. And I'm guessing he meant it to help the kid. He'd been there. That's who he was.
